Dutch barge of riveted iron construction. Originally constructed to carry coal she has been tastefully converted to a residential barge and has retained beautiful lines that attract admiring looks from the passers-by. Her spacious aft deck covered with a new canopy is ideal for entertaining in all weathers. The original tiller steering is well-balanced and surprisingly light. Although modernised and updated she has retained her lines. Fitted with a new propeller 2015 she is ready to cruise and would make an ideal live-aboard.
